Speak Scripture

…so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NIV 

 

God’s word has power in it to accomplish God’s purposes.   

He will accomplish his purpose of making us into the image of Jesus. We can cooperate with him by proclaiming his word—to  ourselves. In my years of slogging through a deep emotional morass, these are the scriptures, spoken aloud, that carried me through: 

The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 NIV 

He will be the sure foundation for your (my) times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure. Isaiah 33:6 NIV 

 The eternal God is your (my) refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV 

 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1 NIV 

…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you (me) will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 NIV 

 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us (me) accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6 KJV

For God hath not given us (me) the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
